That would be a significant disappointment. Good hunting areas seem to be hard to find.
We can't realistically ask the powers that be to keep public lands free of cattle. Personally it seems that the critters really don't mind the others but experiences vary. There may be other factors such as motorized vehicles or fireworks or no water etc. Some ranchers and landowners have been known to herd wildlife for various purposes.
That was my favorite thing about archery. A full month of mild weather with the woods almost to myself. Think I used to log ~15 - 20 miles on some of those long days.
Flags doesn't mince words. "Find another area."
I had my own "heartbreak" this morning regarding a Royal 6x6. Evaluating my options...
